How much to charge for quilting?
I recently purchased a new to me HQ16 sitdown machine for quilting the many quilt tops I have. I have been practicing, but am by no means proficient yet. A friend has a quilt top that she made but is not crazy about it. She said she would pay me to quilt it for her, so I would have something to practice on. She insists she doesn't care how I quilt it, but she does want to pay me. I have no idea how much to charge her. I know LA quilters charge by the sq. inch, but I don't know what that is in my area. I'm in Massachusetts. Can anyone help me with this? Again, I'll be quilting at a sit down machine not on a frame. Mostly likely quilting within blocks, not so much all over quilting.
Thank you. Janet
